Target's Market Pantry Mozzarella Sticks

 Target's Market Pantry Mozzarella Sticks- 6.5/10 crowns


Ok, I know what you're thinking. You're probably thinking "well, she's biased because she works at Target." But you know what? These were really good. I am seriously considering how to get more out of the freezer from the back so I can buy them tonight after my shift. 


The breading: As soon as I saw these come out of the package my mind did a double take. She was like "???". They looked so familiar, but as far as i can remember, I have never tried these (and I have been missing out, as I'm sure you probably are, too). Anyway, these are TOTAL dupes for Farm Rich mozzarella sticks, which, as we know, are my favorite ones to buy at the grocery store. The breading was good! Crunchy and breaded, not just an outer shell. 


The cheese: I will preface this part of the review by saying it comes down to how you heat them up, and I did so in the oven. Some cheese came out, but that was minimal. The cheese crisped and there was a cheese pull when I ate them hot. Very pleased. 


The sauce: Not available, and I think it's good that Target knows that's not where her priorities should be. 


Overall, these tasted like Farm Rich to me. And that's a good thing. The price breakdown (at Target): $6.89 for 32oz MP ($0.22/oz), $3.59 for 8oz MP ($0.45/oz), and $5.29 for 24oz FR ($0.22/oz). My suggestion is go for the 32oz Market pantry ones, you're going to need them.

Texas Roadhouse Twisted Mozzarella

 Texas Roadhouse Twisted Mozzarella- 6/10 crowns   I am once again telling you I'm sure of what you're  thinking. Mozzarella sticks... Texas Roadhouse? And, sure, you would be right, this is certainly an odd combination. I come here for the onion flower, not mozzarella sticks. I think cheddar, not mozzarella. But you know what? These were actually decent. Worth the try, if you will. The breading: Jumping right into things, these were obviously frozen. Like, there's not going to be a sad employee in the kitchen breading twisted mozzarella cheese sticks with the bread crumbs. No. But it seemed to have a distinctive breading look instead of the fried coating which we are familiar with. Good start. ***Also! The picture on the website shows a twisted mozzarella stick shape. I have never seen that before, and still did not see them when i got my order, so that was misleading. But it's still cool to look at, so you should check that out.  The cheese: Yeah this was your standar

IHOP's Mozzarella Sticks

IHOP's Mozzarella Sticks- 7/10 crowns These are literally the *same* exact mozzarella sticks as Applebee's. I should just redirect you to that review. Speaking of  which ... Also, does that mean that IHOP is breakfast Applebee's?? The breading: Ok, girl, is there really much to say? Real bread crumbs. Good. The only thing about these breadcrumbs that isn't really my favorite is the cheese to breadcrumb ratio. There's no problem with having a lot of cheese, but my lactose a** would like more breadcrumbs to balance out the outrageous amount of dairy. The cheese: Anyway, so, the cheese always slaps. Even though my friend and I ordered takeout from the restaurant and ate them about twenty minutes after we picked them up, the cheese pull was still present. The other brands need to take note.  The sauce: It's Applebee's sauce. It's not bad. It's actually pretty good. But we all know that the sauce seems like it's made to give you st

1908 Pizzaria's Mozzarella Sticks

 1908 Pizzaria's Mozzarella Sticks- 5 crowns  These mozzarella sticks are available at my university and i have been waiting to order these, but most of the time, they are sold out! The way you order them is also off-putting-- you can only order from this restaurant online through the Grubhub app so it feels very disconnected for me. This experience overall did not hit the marks for me.  The breading: The breading was easily the best part of this experience. I liked the crunch that these had, even though the flavor was bland.  The cheese: No lie, I really feel like this cheese had no flavor. It was chewy yet bland. They were also served about room temp, so there was no cheese pull to be found. Typically this food has been served cold, and yet this was still disappointing.  The sauce: The sauce at least had flavor but it just was not a good one.  I know this review is more brief than other ones I have written but I really just don't have much to say about these mozzarella sticks
